KJ.’s ‘Energy’ is a soul-stirring confession of desire and loyalty
by May 3, 2023Music has the ability to move us in ways that no other art form can. It has the ability to arouse our emotions, evoke memories, and transfer us to another time and place. And KJ., the Ghanaian Afro-soul/Afro-Pop performer, creates music that is nothing short of magnificent.
KJ. has recently released his latest track, ‘Energy,’ which is a work of art in terms of sound and style. The song is a sort of confession, a story about a former affair with another woman that threatened to ruin his relationship. It’s a story about a conflict between desire and loyalty that many of us can connect to, and KJ. portrays it wonderfully with his enticing blend of Afrobeats and Soul. In describing the song, KJ. comments, ‘’Lust driven but unsuccessful, ‘Energy’ is a shamefully honest rendition of a past entrapment in which I tried fruitlessly to overlook my relationship for another woman’’.
KJ. takes us into his universe with every note, a realm that is both familiar and unusual. His music is influenced by artists such as SAINt JHN, 6lack, and Asa, yet he has a distinct voice and style all his own. He combines the rhythms of his home country with the influences of his travels to create a breathtaking melting pot of culture and creativity.
But it’s not just KJ.’s music that distinguishes him. His brilliance as a songwriter, his gift for producing songs that are both real and honest, definitely shows through. He creates songs that speak to the human experience by drawing on his personal experiences, both good and unpleasant. And with each phrase, he reminds us that we are not alone in our troubles, that there is beauty in our grief, and that the power of music may bring us consolation and healing.
For KJ., music is more than just a job; it is a calling, a love that he has pursued with zeal. Even as he balances his medical studies and musical career, he stays true to himself and his skills. With each new album, he establishes himself as a force to be reckoned with, a rising star in the worlds of Afro-soul and Afro-Pop. KJ’s most recent release is simply a taste of what’s to come. He is presently working on his second EP, ”Havana After Dark (H.A.D),” which promises to be a great masterpiece.
The lovely melodies and throbbing beats of ‘Energy’ take our breath away. We are captivated by KJ.’s voice, a calming and deep voice that talks to our hearts and souls. We are transported to another world, one of passion and agony, love and loss, a world that is both familiar and foreign to us. So, let us listen to KJ.’s ‘Energy’ and get carried away by the beauty and enchantment of his music.
